Food truck hire for your event in Hoe Gate
We bring the truck or trailer to private and work events in and around Hoe Gate. At staff summer parties and back-garden parties, we can serve tacos from the hatch, vegan tacos and burrito bowls.
Somewhere as small as Hoe Gate, food truck hire can mean a garden, a field or a barn. Lanes, gates and long drives are fine if we know about them. Soft ground after rain is worth mentioning too. We cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan guests, with allergen information for everything we serve.
Food truck hire or something else?
For food that becomes part of the event, a private food truck is a strong option. The cost per head can fall as numbers rise, because the set-up is similar for different sizes of event. Tell us your numbers for an accurate price.

Planning the serving area
The route in matters as much as the spot itself. We need:
- Firm, level ground or hardstanding where the truck or trailer can park
- Arrangements for power and water, agreed when you book
- A parking suspension, where a street spot is needed
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and the access, and we will advise before booking.
Hoe Gate: your questions answered
Is Hoe Gate close to London?
It is about 60 miles from central London, and inside the area we cover.
Do you hire out your food truck for parties in places like Hoe Gate?
Yes, as long as we’re available on the date and can get the truck or trailer in. Let us know about access and where we’d park.
What access do you need?
Access and level ground matter most: a level spot to park, space for guests to queue and a little room for a serving table. Send us a photo and tell us about gates, slopes and soft ground.
Who clears up?
We clear our own area when service is finished. For anything beyond that, such as guests’ tables, ask us.
Do you do parties at home?
It depends on access. If the truck or trailer cannot reach the garden, a drive or a spot nearby may work, with permission. Send us a photo and we’ll talk it through.
How soon do we need to book?
Early, particularly for summer Saturdays. Even if it is short notice, it’s worth asking.
Can you cater for guests who avoid dairy?
Yes. We offer dairy-free options.
How does food truck hire work?
We bring our food truck or trailer to your venue, park in the agreed spot and serve your guests from the hatch. It is a private booking for your guests only.
Popular choices

What happens on the day
Here’s how the day generally runs: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you are ready, and your guests are served fresh until service ends. A Christmas party in Hoe Gate with a hired food truck will be in the dark from about 4:00pm, so choose a well-lit spot for the truck or trailer. At midsummer, sunset is around 9:20pm.
- Ask us whether your date is available.
- You get a menu for the hatch and a quote.
- We confirm the parking spot and the route in.
- On the day, guests order at the hatch and we cook to order.
- After service, we close up and leave the spot clear.
Before we arrive
- Arrange somewhere covered for guests to eat
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Let us know who to talk to on the day

Who books food truck hire in Hoe Gate?

If you’re planning any of these, we can help:

When the service is at a church such as Church of the Holy Trinity, the truck would serve at the reception venue rather than at the church.

Doing it yourself? Start with the quantities: see how many tacos per person. Keep warmed tortillas covered, and label dishes for guests with allergies.
Running your own drinks table is one option, but someone has to serve all evening. See our margarita bar guide.
